This should be alarming, right?

Check out how Mexico and Australia handle immigrants.

The self inflicted wounds, like the above ruling, make me mad. It's just stupid.

Which I was alluding to tangentially.




Henley & Partners Visa Restriction Index

If Afghanistan visa is only honored by 25/218 destinations, why would we think it a bad idea to consider why? Yet, Germany, who is first, is en-route to nationalize a million "potentially radicalized" refugees per year. The question here is if there has been enough evidence to justify fear of extremism from refugees. I think, in context, its security theater meant to advance a political agenda.

I'm all for humanitarian aid, and for helping refugees. It starts by not allowing (Insert potential failing state here) to descend into civil war, leaving vast populations at the mercy of radical opportunists, like Taliban, or ISIL.

OR, staying out of it and mercilessly leaving them to suffer their fate as an exercise in self determination. We cannot afford to keep treating intervention as a hobby we dabble into. We have been extremely heartless about the conflict in central Africa, leaving millions to die at the hands of despots.

Obama blustered and toyed around in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yeman, etc. without any clear leadership mandate. He will be the first war time President (with the Nobel Peace Prize) awarded before he then bloodied his hands more than any other in both drone strikes on civilians, and the bigger sin of omission. The unwilling war leader is a bad war leader.
